Wide view of the Brooksville Catholic or Olive Street Cemetery

This photo taken in 2007 was taken just after property owners cleaned the Olive Street Cemetery. This small cemetery is located in downtown Brooksville behind the former St. Anthony's Catholic Church, which was sold and converted to a home leaving the small cemetery behind.
